Speaker: John Preskill I will review an experimentally feasible procedure for converting a quantum state into a succinct classical description of the state, its classical shadow. Classical shadows can be applied to predict efficiently many properties of interest, including expectation values of local observables and few-body correlation functions. Efficient classical machine learning algorithms us

Speaker: David DiVincenzo Our work looks at the transmon array as a many body (boson lattice) system, asking what attributes of the many body phase influence the usability of this array for gate-based quantum computing. Many body localization is desirable. Ref: Christoph Berke, Evangelos Varvelis, Simon Trebst, Alex Altland, and David P. DiVincenzo, “Transmon platform for quantum computing challen

Speaker: Qi-Kun Xue The quantum Hall effect (QHE), a quantized version of the Hall effect [1], was observed in two-dimensional (2D) electron systems under magnetic field more than 40 years ago [2, 3]. The quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect refers to a quantized version of the anomalous Hall effect [4], which doesn’t require an external magnetic field. It had been predicted to occur in “2D graphit

Speaker: Anton Zeilinger Early experiments on quantum foundations were motivated essentially by curiosity. There was no awareness that this opened up the avenue to quantum information. The experiments I will discuss go from neutron interferometry via three-photon entanglement, and entanglement swapping  to recent path identity results based on a seminal and long overlooked paper by Wang, Zou, and

Speaker: Michel Devoret The accuracy of logical operations on quantum bits (qubits) must be improved for quantum computers to surpass classical ones in useful tasks. To that effect, quantum information needs to be made robust to noise that affects the underlying physical system. Rather than suppressing noise, quantum error correction aims at preventing it from causing logical errors. This approach

Speaker: Krysta Svore While quantum computation has long been promised, and new scenarios and problems for it to tackle are being explored, at the moment we are short on scale. To define and understand the requirements of scale requires also knowing the needs of the problems to be solved.  And then, together with those requirements, working to define the desiderata of the system architecture.  I’l
